Georgia's largest school district has confirmed that around 260 employees have either tested positive for Covid-19 or have been exposed.

The Gwinnett County School District employees won't be returning to school just yet as districts across the country continue to adjust their back-to-school plans to prevent the spread of the virus. The situation in Gwinnett is fluid, GCPS spokeswoman Sloan Roach told CNN in an email Sunday evening."As of last Thursday, we had approximately 260 employees who had been excluded from work due to a positive case or contact with a case," Roach said.

Jefferson City Schools reopening 'experiment' is underway GCSD already had pushed the start date back to August 12, but had given the option for in-person learning until late July when the decision to only provide virtual learning was"due to the current Covid-19 situation in our county and the rising numbers of cases in Gwinnett County," Roach explained.Roach did not say if the newly identified positive cases have changed the district's reopening plans.

Lovely

Either? Which is it? Not one child on the planet has gotten a teacher infected. Stop trying to hold the country hostage we know it’s all fear. 60 million infected under Obama and not one business shit down

Stop counting people who don’t have it as cases! Fear mongering CNN! No one in my family has it and if we get it we’ll take care of ourselves at first sign ask our doctors for HCQ, zinc and a Z-pack and get over it like all the 100,000’s who got well using it! 99% recovery rate

OPEN THE ICUs!

So what. Everyone needs to 'test positive' for the virus so we build immunity for it.

Three employees tested positive upon return to school/work, their 260ish coworkers are forced to quarantine. Shock headline used... This is why people are losing trust in the media and fakenews resonates.

Kids aren't safe going back to school, just Google overnight Summer Camp outbreaks.

I could say I was exposed to it everyday since March... doesn’t change the fact I have to go to work. My husband at a NY hospital every day. Doesn’t mean we ever tested positive. Take the necessary precautions.

Gerogia did what it did best!

Wow.

Online only btw

Surprised didn’t blame Putin and Trump directly.

The same day Maryland Governor Hogan says localities should have less authority over closing local private schools

Are people actually surprised by this?

Schools haven't been open since Frank sounds like a bunch of BS

CNN IS BY BY! FAKE NEWS IS NOT WORKING TO GOOD! LMFAO!!

How many employees? No perspective, just scare tactics.

..... COVID19 fullmoon MondayMood

Looks like those masks work 🤔

😂😂😂😂and y’all still think it’s the alcohol that needs to be cut GovMikeDeWine

We can help student and staff by tracking it better.

How many have died? A virus is not measured by how many people infected but how many have died. These same numbers probably get all kinds of infection every year. Let schools reopen or give us our money to send our kids to any school of our choice.

GovRaimondo

... or have been exposed? The whole country has been exposed. Keep pumping fear.

Thats what you get for opening up when you should have been home there are the cause of there own misery

And Zdems got a free pass after attending the political rally funeral. Different rules for some.

Showing signs does not mean they have or will have the virus

260 slackers protesting without a mask...

Some context necessary. For example, how many employees in the district? How many employees were tested? When did the tests occur? What were ages of those infected? How many recovered? Any underlying conditions? Any deaths? More fear mongering from the leader in fake news.

And so we’ve all been exposed that’s how viruses work you can’t run from them ? 99.5 recovery rate they should be ok 👌🏻 keep living don’t live in fear when it’s your time it’s your time.

Numbers and words matter. What percentage in Georgia ‘s largest school district is currently positive for COVID 19? By saying “either”, that could mean 0 have tested positive and by saying “have”, that could have been 4 months ago!

So I'm confused.. when did they get exposed/infected? Hasn't school been out for 3 months? At least

319

Mmm mmm mmm

That’s nice. My work has had 20% of its employees test positive and they are all recovered. Oh and my work sees at least 800 customers a day and 80% of my customers are under 18. So should cnn be fighting for me to not work too? Or am I not important?

Governor Kemp doing Putin's work for him.

Walshton_21 Dumb ass is

FakeNews KAG2020 cnnsucks

So what? Now do the FLU from any year.

So what?

Time to support homeschooling and not send kids to indoctrination centers. Cheaper to cut a check to parents to homeschool than the bloated budget of today

Now we’re measuring “exposed” to covid...and this folks is what happens when you are controlled

🌹Hollywood is lying to people about Imam_Mahdi (the Twelfth_Imam). Soon ImamMahdi and JesusChrist will come together for peace, justice, equality, love and purity. And we must pray for them. ThePromisedSaviour son_of_man ThePromisedSaviour

We don't shut down schools for flu, which is 5-10 times deadlier than coronavirus. But we're shutting down for coronavirus? This proves it's all about politics and damaging Trump.

Our dear friends in the West and the East: 💚Your statesmen have replaced the false 4 centuries with the truth, and now is the time to turn to our saviors, so that Christ and the Mahdi(son_of_man) will join hands to bring us happiness.💚 ThePromisedSaviour

🌹Who is Imam_Mahdi ? He has many names son_of_man in the Bible He is descendant of God's best servant He comes to bring peace to the world so that there will be no more corruption in the world so that no one starves anymore so that there will be no more war ThePromisedSaviour

Exposed? LOL

Yikes

3-4 people and a bunch of drama queens

And... each year 70% of the same school teachers and students will get the flu as well. Stop this nonsense already.

Too bad but I know with time this covid 19 will be no more Only God knows coz his always on time

Or have been exposed? How many are positive? Or do you even know the factual statistics... I guess no!

99% of them will survive.

BillClintonIsAPedo

realDonaldTrump

They should be recovered and back to work before September. 👍🏻

What?!?! But how could THAT happen? Ignorance? Redneck decision making Not in GEORGIA!!!

locktrumpup

So basically one person tested positive and 259 may have been exposed just stop CNN

CNN journalists involved in Epstein Island case.. the reason why they are so silent about Bill Clinton

Remember when Bernie and PETA had “beef”

Hey realDonaldTrump and PeterNavarro45 do you plan to prescribe hydroxychloroquine and bleach to these kids and continue to say don't wear masks?

Such fearporn you’ve created. Maybe 1 positive. If We are worried so much about exposer, why wouldn't we close all until this goes away. Europe had to shut 95% of the economy down to help rid this. USA has maybe done 50%. Accept some level of risk or shut it down.

Chinese news at it again

HOW MANY DEATHS? FAKE NEWS

Open the schools!! The election is round the corner!! Signed the orange 🍊 manace.

And the parents are protesting to force the schools to open again. That's some serious stupid. You have to wonder how they managed to keep their children alive this long.

So are you saying masks work or don’t work, I’m confused.

In other words one positive test and 259 people were in the building at one point with them

So

These people were not exposed while in school ! Schools were closed months ago !

Government doin everything in their power to try and drop the population hmm

Worse and worse nigga who’s side is the government on COVID or the people wtf

Meaning nothing. They've had colds and the flu before too.

Show interview the individuals who tested positive fake numbers fake news

definitely time to send the kids back to school only way to make sure the virus is spread around efficiently and everyone gets sick

So how many actually tested positive? There is a HUGE difference and again FakeNewsMedia doesn't report all the facts. Let's just write a story that scares the crap out of people with. Ughhh...

MoorePublicSch 👀 EdmondSchools 👀 MustangSchools 👀

Lol. How can a national news organization put out a headline like this.

Everyone has likely been exposed. So what’s your point? As if we didn’t know.

lol exposed that's a shaky leg to stand on

We are all exposed to covid19 so which one is it? Positive or exposed?🙄

They’re not surprised, are they? Experiment in disaster as soon as all the kids are back

Georgia gonna Georgia.

How are supposed to look for work if there are no jobs available and we have to self quarantine

Hmmm

We’ve all been exposed to it

Are they getting hazard pay being in quarantine

Almost 25,000 employees. This is not that shocking nor alarming. The majority of Americans have more than likely been exposed now so this isn't that big of a story especially when we don't know how many actually tested positive for Covid.

In the Trump/Kushner plan this is called acceptable Red State Collateral Damage!!

There is NO NEED to put children and more people in jeopardy for the sake of 45 PERIOD DOT!!!!

Welcome to the Pandemic Trumpland, the GOP Virus Theme Park. On board the COVID-19 Runaway Train. Destination: ER, REFRIG CONTAINER, MORTUARY, CREMATION, URN, CEMETERY, POTTER HILL. You want TOTAL FREEDOM? You got it: Only Death Can Set You Free, FOREVER!

BrianKempGA wants more blood though!

Either people are arguing to argue or people in the country have misinformation or are widely uneducated. Regardless of which political party you identify with, we as Americans need a non-political trusted source such as the CDC to send out facts and facts only.

RonAllison17 the same mistakes the racist white supremacist Woodrow Wilson made in 1918 are being duplicated by Trump and his minions

GovKemp runs a great deathcampstate and apparently AMC_TV needs child zombies for next season.

Swine flu came and went..school didn’t close..no masks, no social distancing..swine flu was killing children..Obama/Biden didn’t do anything..but we made it though it!

Wow.

The thing is, I live right by here and work here. I hate that Kemp is not doing anything about it. And I am scared for the safety of my family.

I’m sorry for all the schools that were the first to be forced to open. As this horrible experiment goes terrribly awry, the folks in charge will realize that it isn’t working and will shut down. The folks that waited will be glad they did. We need smarter people running things.

Everyone’s been “exposed.” That’s a ridiculous headline

Thats a good thing

Cool, that means they will be over it and immune before in person schooling resumes.

Cool

Another Fake News to hel Joe Biden. But it won’t work.

And ?

It’s called herd immunity. Look it up.

Another worthless headline

Have any been hospitalized? Have any recovered? The death rate in the US is going down even though the number of cases go up. Every day will be a NEW RECORD, we don’t have any records to compare it to. There are 330M Americans, 4.8M cases, 0.15M deaths.

May have been exposed.......may not have been exposed either? To one person with an iffy positive? Don't panic Mr Mainwaring!

Pass it on 😻

School not yet in session. Mobsters perhaps?

Oh..but letz open our schools....da fk outta here!!

Baaaaad

They’ll be fine in 2 weeks....or not.

Or exposed. So the common cold triggered a positive covid test and everyone in the school is now counted as being exposed. Time to end the fear mongering!

Hasn't the whole world been exposed to the coronavirus?

Nothing but a vitamin B12 deficiency, we know what’s goin on......

Wow 😂
